| Message | "Mr. Speaker, I am really at a loss for words that the Liberal Democrats would present such a bill as if Healthcare were some sort of luxury. This policy will hurt middle class Hutorians and only them. Why is it that the Liberal Party and the opposition, UWC, are the only parties defending not only the middle class but all Hutorians while other parties are only interested in helpingetting either the low class or the high class but not both. As Minister of Health and Social Services, I ask the Senators voting on this bill today to oppose on the grounds that Healthcare is a universal right and this bills only purpose to give more welfare to the poor and telling everyone else to fend for themselves. Joe Murray Jr. Minister of Health and Social Services |

| Message | "Mr. Speaker, Healthcare is not a right. No good or service can be a right. Our only rights are life, liberty, and pursuit of property. The key to understanding each of those rights is that they require no other man to uphold them. By declaring healthcare a right, you are declaring that you are entitled to another human being's labor -- and that is slavery. I can understand this want to help those who are disadvantaged. But the time is now to help those who are genuinely disadvantaged, and not people who will simply drink from the teat of the state until they are fat, lazy, and dependent." - Erica McPherson (LDP-KE) Prime Minister of Hutori |

| Message | "Mr. Speaker, I find it funny that the honorable Prime Minister can declare Life a right but says Healthcare is not. To me, and the constituents I serve think different as the two go hand-in-hand. I also find it a bit hypocritical of the Prime Minister of to say 'the time is now to help those who are genuinely disadvantaged, and not people who will simply drink from the teat of the state' as many of the legislation they have presented is to do such, helpingonly those who don't want to help themselves. This bill doesn't help the genuinely disadvantaged, it only hurts them more." Joe Murray Jr. Minister of Health and Social Services |

| Message | We oppose the current and proposed policy. We would prefer that the individual regions determine the functioning of their health care system. Locally we support fully funded public health care. |

| Message | ''this is probably one the worst bill to be proposed in all our history! We need more justice in our healthcare system, not less! Everybody in this country should have the same treatment at the same price. The LDPH want to reduce taxes for the riche and in the same time they want to continue to help the poor. But what about the middle classe? This bill is just going to make life for the middle classe even harder!'' Tom Bokota Leader of the National Progress Party |
